I’m not sure about obsessed, but my partner and I have started watching Stargate SG1 recently! I’ve been looking forward to our daily episode. Some really cool concepts in each episode, though it does seem to follow a formula of: the team finds some cool tech that could enhance our understanding of the universe, some crazy event happens that threatens the life of a crew member, the cool tech has to be sacrificed to save the team member. Not sure if that’s just season 1 and it gets a bit more nuanced further on?
As with most scifi shows of this era, it really hits its stride in season 3. Hang in there, the first two seasons aren’t horrible, you get to know the characters and the lore and it sets you up for greatness.
There is definitely more multi-episode storylines and progression as the show goes on, but the problem remains that most of the time they can’t really keep amazing tech they find, because it would solve too many problems or make things boring.
It does occasionally happen though. Over the seasons they do accrue an impressive collection of tech which does carry over and is used in episodes going forward.

After 10 seasons the problem they have is finding villains worse than before. It’s hard to continually up the stakes.
